About us

Shiksha Alok is a Not-For-Profit organisation striving to usher development within the needy Himalayan communities.

Our mission is to help build and strengthen sustainable initiatives in the field of education for women and children of marginalized & deprived communities - through partnerships at all levels.

Our vision is to provide support in building capacities of women & children within isolated mountain communities, with the aim of ushering sustainable development.

Ushering Societal Change through Literacy and Women Empowermet - We at Shiksha Alok believe that educating women is the most powerful way to address societal limitations. Educated women are bread winners, supplement family incomes, raise more manageable and healthier families. Their children are more likely to educate their own families, thus breaking the cycle of illiteracy within the generation.
